Grandville Avenue Arts & Humanities
GAAH builds environments of curiosity and creativity with our neighbors to cultivate inclusion and justice.

Get to Know Us
It was a great opportunity to work collaboratively with other organizations and get to know other people doing work across the sector here in Grand Rapids.
If funding were unlimited, we would make sure every neighbor in the Roosevelt Park and Black Hills neighborhood felt truly connected to their flourishing neighborhood, embodying liberation, self-determination, self-expression, connection, and joy!
Our goal is to raise $5,000 to support our After School Programs at the Cook Arts Center and the Cook Library Center. The funds will go towards program instructors, tutors, staff and supplies. GAAH provides art, music and dance classes free to our neighborhood youth and families, along with tutoring, homework help, and school support. These funds will help us pay for the 1250+ hours of arts instruction (we pay artists!) and the 300+ hours of tutoring that our students receive for free. If it weren't for donations like yours, these free services would not be available to our community members!
"Without community, there is no liberation…but community must not mean a shedding of our differences, nor the pathetic pretense that these differences do not exist." - Audre Lorde(Giving isn't just charity—it's about being part of a community and showing up for each other across differences.)
Harness the Giving Spirit
Your support means the world to us. Donations allow us to continue giving back to our great city.
